Setting: Ability to choose “New Game” and/or "New Game+"
For now, the game progression continues on, without players being able to revisit previously completed missions.
Here, it would be nice if players have either of the two choices or both of them:
"New Game"
This needs some form of save slot system, where when you start “New Game”, your previous game is saved in a save slot. So, you can access it and go back to your previous game, when needed.
"New Game+"
With this, players could start the game (mission progress) from the beginning but keep their character progression as it was. Keeping the inventory and Plundra/Recycing Station contents is also one option.
What would make it harder 2nd time around, can be done many ways. For example, locking current and easier difficulties:
-
If player completed the game on Adventurer difficulty, New Game+ will have minimum of Skirmish difficulty.
Players can’t pick Adventurer difficulty when playing on New Game+ but they can pick Guerilla difficulty at any point and switch between Skirmish and Guerilla. -
If player completed the game on Skirmish difficulty, New Game+ will have minimum of Guerilla difficulty.
Players can’t pick difficulty level and have to play on Guerilla. -
If player completed the game on Guerilla difficulty, New Game+ will have minimum of post-April '20 update difficulty.
As of when players are able to pick New Game+, it can be after player has completed final main story mission (Behind the Curtain, The Resistance or Good Night) or players can spend Prestige points, 200 to 250, to unlock New Game+ mode.
